Spring Senior Scholar-Athlete Spotlight: Walker Imwalle
5/5/2020 10:00:00 AM | Baseball
Thirty-three seniors were on Davidson Wildcat rosters as this spring began, and though their 2020 seasons were abbreviated, their contributions to their respective teams, the overall athletics program and college itself make them worthy of recognition. Each Tuesday and Thursday, we will feature members of the class of 2020 as part of the Senior Spring Scholar-Athlete Spotlight.
Name: Walker Imwalle
Sport: Baseball
Major: Economics
What was your favorite class and why? Intro to Education Policy with Dr. Marsicano. He made class enjoyable and always made every opinion and viewpoint welcome.
Where are you completing your studies this semester? At my parents' house in Teachey, N.C.
Though it was cut short, what will you remember most about your senior season? Brett Centracchio putting a ball over the right field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning to send Duke back to Durham. And his bat flip.
If you had to choose, what was the defining moment of your athletic career? I guess when I started pitching last season. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but it showed I was willing to do anything to help the team.
What was your favorite trip you took as a team and why? St. Joseph's in 2018. Lots of team bonding on this trip.
What makes a Davidson scholar-athlete different? School first. Baseball second.
You can invite any three people to dinner. Who is joining you? Dick Cooke, Edwin from Commons, Alex Mardiney
Most memorable college moment outside of competition? Hanging out with the boys
Did you have any superstitions? I wear a different pair of compression shorts for home and away games. Our three losses this season I wore the wrong pair.
What are you most proud of from your time as a Wildcat? Our team chemistry. It's unlike any other.
Who do you want to thank for their support? My family and all my past coaches and teachers. I would not be here without them.
What's next for you? Hopefully playing somewhere next year while in graduate school.
